Alex Telles eligible to play against Man Utd for loan club Sevilla in the Europa League

We can confirm the on-loan defender will be eligible to face the Reds in the two-legged tie, with the first game taking place at Old Trafford on 13 April, as United look to avenge the Champions League exit to the Spanish side in 2018, and set up a semi-final with Juventus or Sporting.

Sevilla parted company with experienced coach Jorge Sampaoli after their defeat at Getafe left them just two points above the relegation zone in La Liga.

Telles is set to emulate another United defender, who performed against us in the 2020/21 Europa League. Diogo Dalot came off the bench for Milan in Italy after starting at the Theatre of Dreams, as we beat the Serie A side 2-1 on aggregate. Telles was in our team for the first leg of that last-16 tie.
